Is there a baby coining in your family? There was a time when that meant the expectant mother would spend long hours in quiet seclusion. doing yards of tedious stitching by hand. The modern mother is more apt to have other things to do. In this day, when even a princess carries on wttlf a wide range of activities before the birth of her baby. the idea that the mother-to-be must spend hours quietly sewing seems slight- ly out of date.

If one takes the precaution to buy fine sewing thread and use I fine needle and short stitches. most baby things can be run up very quickly on your sewing ma- ch" -i. Fine tucking can be put in by machine, and then the tucks

crosswise gently to give a. nod effect. Even the finest French-seamed haby dresses can have the first seams stitched on tl'.. in.-. 'v'ne and the second seams done by hand. In his way the ma- chine stitching gives strength to the seam and makes it hold better in laundering, yet the dress ap- pears to be entirely hand-made. Even French-seams, however, can

rt

be done on your machine. If you are not too sure how to make a French-seam. and the advent of

a baby is encouraging you to try sewing for the first time. you can get expert advice and help at your local sewing centre.

Viizcther you are it novice or an experienced home-semcr, whether you are sewing for your baby or some one else's, there are several things to keep in mind. one is that you should buy the finest fabric obtainable. The yardage required is so small that the best quality really is not very expen- slve. Woollens must be Very fine to be soft enough. Batiste is a good choice frr best dresses. For sacques. klmonos and wrappers. use fine flannel. cashmere or crepe de chene.

It is such fun sewing for a baby and with a little practice you can lmprsvisc your own pretty trim- mings with ribbon and dainty lace edrzings.

When it comes to clothes for a new baby there are certain basic requirements. Fol- lowing is a layette as recommend- ed hy Mary Brooks Picken in the singer Sewing Book.

Iy AI Island Farmers wu

This was the morning our farm- ers were caught in I and "predica- ment". 3. sorry state of unprepar- edneas unusual to Jsmes' way of farming. In fact as we stop to look back to past years it is to recall how oftln pur day at the farm ex- tended into over-time to have everything in good order before we were willing to come to our rests. At dusk while frogs at the pond below croaked their aeedtime tnrenody often we have come to the edge of a field to find James finishing an end of seeding-"Just to have it done. Ellen. in case we should get broken weather.” And into the moonlight or starlight more times than the like of grand- daughter could count. farm-wag- one have come down along the farm-lane bearing last loads of hay or grain of a cutting to have all safely stored in the event of rain. Never has a row of pota- to sets been left. uncovered at night-fall. nor at the digging, even a bushel that should be sav- ed left to lie at the mercy of frost or shower. And if on occasion and on behalf of the weary farmers, a housewife has complained of the extended day. it was to sleep sweeter because of it. But last evening . . .

U C I

We had been at the threshing at Alderlea --a stack which should write the end of that work for the spring. The farm-engine, a-weary- ing now from long labor, had been moody all afternoon and towards sunset shuffled off some "mortal coil” or another which at the time could not be replaced. It has been usual when she heretofore pulsed to a sulky stop in the midst of our industry that a search on a shelf in garage or pump-house or other building or a trip to the house to inquire - and bring the women a-running! - over a. recent or more distant purchase: "That ex- tra. for the engine, have you seen it? Well I could swear I left it right here!" would yield a re- placement. But not this time. and with what James reckoned was "8 nice bit if we had to out and buy lt" yet to be threshed . . . There is we have learned a dif- ference in regard between what one has of farm-stuff, and what

one has to buy of it. And some- times only when the latter cir- cumstances appears does one

come to appreciate better the val- ue of ones own possession . . . e What an evening it was that spread its quiet charm along the length and breadth of the farm- steads! Mtlld as one of May's. though a coolness came creeping in with the dusk over the hills. But attended by birds evensonc. the day was drawing then serene- ly to its rest. And last 103d-5 01 the stack remained to be threshed. but had been drawn to the barn. It had been fun dismantling that last layer of sheaves. There at the stack, men, lads, dogs and a foam- inine spectator had foregathered. As last sheaves were lifted there was an excited skirmish to kill the uncovered rodents that had squatted in that full comfortable quarter over-winter. "Now" James said "we'll throw these loads into the grain-building here, since we can't thresh any more - Just in case it rains before morning.” ”As you say" agreed Mr. A. But the younger farmers read a good pro- mise of fair weather in the signs about. and besides at the respec- tive farms the chorlng was call- ing. so presently James agreed. though with half-hearted consent. to leave things as they were over- night... But this morning! He stirred - came awake quickly - listened intently. And "what did I say, Ellen?" he demanded. Rain was patterlng on the roof above. And that is how our farmers came to be caught in a state of un- preparednesa today. 0 I 0

But we doubt not that there will come another day for the farmers to finish their threshing. out of the showers and fog and dampness of today. it may come tomorrow.

Until tomorrow - - Diary Good-night. . .
